Alpha Max

Chapter 10

Avery's POV

I whined watching Max sleep on the bed. Glancing at the IV Collins just started. The liquid slowly dripping down and going down the tube into his arm.

I hate seeing him like this. I don't ever want to see him stuck here again. I feel so helpless right now. Not only can I not help him get better faster but my wolf can't even help.

Becoming pregnant put my wolf into hibernation almost. Its like she abandoned me; sometimes I feel lost without her. But I know its for the best for my baby. Shes still there, sometimes I feel her deep within. She's there helping me with this beautiful baby. 

 Whining again I squeezed his hand softly and kissed it.

"Oh Max darlin, we will get through this. You will get better don't worry honey. I'll always be here for you." I whispered softly.

Collins knocked on the door softly and walked in. "Still hasn't woken up?" He whispered and gave me a plate of food.

I hummed and nodded taking a bite of the food hungrily. Collins checked his vitals humming. "Maybe this is what he needs. A comma like sleep. It might help his brain reset himself. I will keep him on his medicine and make sure he gets nutrients." He explains and smiled at me.

I frowned and nodded. "When do yo think he will wake up?" I asked looking at him worried. 

Collins smiled at me. "He could wake up at any time. But don't worry he will be awake before you start showing ok?" He asked smiling at me. 

I whined but nodded to him. "When I talk to him, can he hear me?" I asked looking over at my mate worried for him. I took his hand and squeezed it softly. Max moved some when he felt me squeeze his hand. 

Collins smiled watching him. "Yes, if he can feel that then he can hear you. Talk to him some and he will possibly wake up. But we don't know who will wake up. Him or his wolf." He warned. I looked over at him and nodded. "Ok." I whispered and sighed and stood.

"I should check on my father." I whispered and kissed Max's forehead softly and looked at Collins. "He is awake and off the machine." He said softly. I smiled and nodded. "Can he talk?" I asked biting my lip. 

Collins nodded. "But not very much." He said and led me out of the room and towards my father's room. 

I swallowed hard and pushed open the door and looked at my father. 

He smiled at me. "Hey sweetheart. I'm sorry for yelling at you and Max." He whispered his voice barely there. I smiled and walked over and sat next to his bed in a chair. 

"M...Max is in a coma." I sobbed and started to cry, stupid hormones. My father frowned. "Honey, I'm so sorry. Collins filled me in about it all. But don't worry, he will get through this. Both of you will get through it. You two are a strong Alpha and Luna." he said softly.

I hiccuped and wiped my face. "I...I'm pregnant." I sobbed and looked at my father thinking he would be upset. 

He looked at me shocked. "Honey that is great!" he exclaimed smiling big. I cried more into my hands sobbing uncontrollably. 

My father moved some and rubbed my back softly. "Shhh honey what is wrong?" he whispered softly to me frowning. 

"W...what if he doesn't wake up? What if he doesn't get to meet his baby?" I sobbed and pressed into his hand crying hard. 

"Oh princess, you can't dwell on the negative things. You need to have faith. Believe he will wake up and he will. He will get to see his baby, do not worry ok?" He whispered softly and smiled at me. I hiccuped and looked at him. 

He smiled at me. "Don't worry the stress is bad for the baby remember that." he said softly. I wiped my face and nodded smiling weakly at my father. 

"I...I'm gonna go back to Max." I whispered and stood wrapping my arms around my stomach. My father smiled at me. "Goodnight sweetheart." he whispered and moved back onto his bed comfortably and fell asleep.  

I sighed and headed back to Max's room seeing a bed set up next to his. I smiled slightly and took my shoes off and climbed up onto the bed and pulled the covers up sighing heavily. 

Looking over at Max; I reached over and took his hand and soon was asleep breathing hard. My body was exhausted, everything was drained of energy. 

**

I groaned feeling someone shake my shoulder softly. 

Fluttering my eyes open and looked over seeing Max awake and shaking my shoulder. "Avery?" he croaked. 

I quickly got up and moved over and sat on his bed next to him taking her hand into mine smiling big. "Hey honey. How are you feeling?" I asked softly. 

Max grunted moving some then looked at me. "I feel sleepy. W...What happened?" he asked softly. I frowned and brushed his cheek softly. "Let me get Collins and he can explain to you." I whispered and pushed the green button on his bed for Collins. 

Collins quickly came into the room and smiled big. "You're awake!" He gasped smiling even more. 

Max smiled weakly at him. "He says he is sleepy and he doesn't know what happened." I explained and looked at Collins. He frowned and nodded. 

"Well, you are sleepy because of the medication you are on." He explained and sat on the other side of the bed and frowned at him. "Max, you have schizophrenia, multiple personality disorder. Your wolf is causing this, when he surfaces he makes you someone we don't know. He makes you probably think no one wants you around, makes you think bad thoughts. He made you kill the men that came into the town hall, then....then he made you attacked Charles and you almost killed him." Collins said softly. 

Max looked at me tearing up. "I...I didn't hurt you did I?" He sobbed crying now.  I frowned and moved closer to him pulling him into a hug, feeling him wrap his arms around me crying into my shoulder. I looked over at Collins and he nodded to me to tell Max the good news. 

I pulled back and wiped his tears away and kissed his forehead. "Honey, you did not hurt me, and my father is healthy and  is gonna be ok." I said softly and smiled brushing his cheek. 

"And?" He whispered looking up at me. 

I smiled even more. He always knew when I was hiding something. He somehow could tell.

"I'm pregnant Max. You are gonna be a father." I whispered softly to him.
